NA adopts resolution to probe Gulalai’s allegations against Imran

The National Assembly adopted a motion on Friday to form a committee which will probe into harassment allegations against Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chief Imran Khan.

Earlier this week, MNA Ayesha Gulalai left the PTI claiming that women affiliated with the party faced constant harassment from within the party ranks. She accused the PTI chief of sending her lewd text messages.

The motion was presented by MNA Arifa Khalid Parvez and accepted by the house.

PTI lawmaker Shireen Mazari rejected the PM’s suggestions and said instead of Imran Khan, Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) leader Khuwaja Asif should be probed for abusing her in the house.

Sheikh Rashid moves privilege motion against PML-N

Awami Muslim League (AML) leader Sheikh Rashid moved a privilege motion against PML-N lawmakers over being “manhandled”.

Rashid claimed that following the disqualification of former prime minister Nawaz Sharif he was attacked by PML-N supporters. “The house must investigate who are the people who attacked me. No matter who I am, I should be given respect because I am part of this assembly,” he said.

The opposition parties then staged a walk out in support of the AML leader and against the attack on him.
